The impact of acne on an individual should not be taken lightly especially for a generation who values physical appearance more than anything else. Our obsession with perfection can trigger adverse reactions from people dealing with breakouts. Low self esteem, embarrassment and depression are just some of the negative reactions brought about by this skin disease.

As we have often heard, acne recedes in time, as we get older we see less and less breakouts. This may be true but keep in mind that these blemishes can cause severe and permanent scarring. The earlier we treat acne, the better chances we have that these breakouts will leave no marks. Science and alternative medicine have specific approaches to treating acne and choosing between the two can be on a trial and error basis.

Topical Acne Medications

Our health stores and pharmacies are brimming with products that claim to help you get rid of unwanted pimples. Though most of them are effective as they are based on thorough research and experimentation, our skin may react differently with each medication. As they are easily available and widely produced and advertised, they are most often the easy choice for most consumers, it is still best to consult your dermatologist before applying it on your face.

The most common acne medications include retinoids, tretinoin, antibiotics and sulfur based products.

Alternative Medicine

An increase in the demand for natural remedies has strengthened the popularity of Alternative Medicines. Herbal medications and homeopathic remedies are effective ways to naturally treat acne in addition to a good body cleanse. The use of natural elements to treat blemishes is considered the safest way as they are chemical free.

Homeopathy is a complementary type of alternative medicine that is based on the belief that our body can naturally heal itself and that natural elements when taken in adequate amounts can strengthen and heal the whole body.

Alternative medicine makes use of natural remedies for acne. Common herbs advised to treat breakouts and cleanse our body from toxins include dandelion, green tea leaves, peppermint, garlic and jojoba. As they are all natural, no adverse effect is expected.

Keep in mind that acne affects everyone and though the options to rid yourself of acne may be many but the important thing is to choose the one that works well for you.

You can say this about body cleansing . .

“The process is not always pretty, but the results are always beautiful”

Colonic

A colonic, simply put is the flushing of water into your colon to remove waste and feces that normal bowel movements do not pass. That is it! Yes you can buy $100 kits that will give you the best colonic ever, but honestly all you technically need is a beer bong and an open mind. . Sorry there is my sense of humor shining through again. For the record, I do recommend you get a kit for this, just don’t spend over a $100. The part most people won’t tell you is that performing a colonic can cause ‘discomfort’.

Parasites

While the term ‘paratsites’ can refer to any number of things including leeches. Typically in the world of body cleanse and when people refer to parasite cleanse they are talking about intestinal parasites, also known simply known as worms. The best way to prevent the contraction of parasite is to avoid undercooked meat, avoid unclean water and avoid skin to skin contact with any on who may have parasites.

Toxins

Toxins in the world of health and cleansing can refer to any number of things that we take into our bodies.  From free radicals from processed food to cigarette smoke to car exhaust. Toxins is really just referring to any unnatural substance, unfortunately the life style we typically all live exposes to a large amount of toxins on a daily basis. The are unavoidable. The can reduce your exposure to them by eating organic and natural foods, not exposing yourself to second hand smoke and limiting your intake of alcohol. Ultimately you will be exposed to and ingest toxins in most of your daily interactions, so while this is a huge buzz word right now, just know that almost any legitimate cleanse you  decide to use will rid your body of toxins, you don’t need a special ‘Toxin Cleanse’ to do so. Cleansing yourself of toxins is important, as the damage caused to cells may require the use of anti aging products.

Okay so that is it for this edition of Body Cleanse Jargon and Nonsense, again you can email suggestions or leave them in comments (i love comments!) about any other topics or buzzwords you want me to ‘expose’

Thanks for reading.

We have all seen those commercials and advertisements about latest body cleansing diet or detox diets and asked, do I really need that? If you have asked yourself that question, the answer is probably yes. Doing a whole body cleanse or going on a body cleanse diet can have some pleasantly surprising side effects, including better skin without the use of anti aging products. The hardest part of detoxifying your body is staying committed to the process of cleansing your body.

If you find yourself relating to any of these symptoms it’s time to consider doing a cleanse.

• You find yourself feeling constantly tired, even after getting a good night’s rest.
• You find it hard to concentrate at work.
• You recently have had an acne break outs or skin irritation
• You are suffering from constant headaches or frequent migraines
• You are suffering from bad breathe, despite good dental hygiene
• You commonly have unpleasant or painful bowel movements

If two or more of the above symptoms describe you then it is time for you to consider a whole body cleanse or detox diet. I really want to point out something important to everyone reading, I can not emphasize this enough – Do NOT do a detox diet, cleansing fast or body cleanse strictly for weight loss. Yes, weight loss is a nice ‘side effect’ or changing your diet during a detox, however, almost all the weight comes back after you come off of your cleanse. Weight loss requires a life style change not just a diet change.

So we have decided we are suffering from a few of the symptoms listed above, and we have agreed we are not going to do a cleanse for weight loss, but to detoxify our body. The next step is probably the most important, even more important than deciding what type of cleanse to do, you must be ready to make a real commitment to seeing the cleanse through and stick to it every day. If you are ready to make that commitment then you are ready to choose the best cleanse for your body.
